Located in the city's exclusive Rajajinagar area, Kessaku by the Phoenix Group is a large residential project featuring uber-luxury apartments, housed in five interconnected buildings. We were approached to create distinctive lobbies for the buildings, each independently connecting to a premium 7,500-square-foot common lounge, the latter catering to all the complex residents.
We commenced with a masterplan to optimise the space for each lobby and that of the lounge area. The theme proposed by the developers was the elements of nature -- earth, wind, fire, water and air. Each lobby was named after an element, which also provided the starting point for its design.
Zefa (air) is represented by the idea of erosion. We used rough stone veneer that looks weathered by time and a layered mirror to add multiple reflections.
